As perhaps the most accessible of all the places where Chengdu pandas can be seen up close, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is located just 10 kilometers from the Chengdu city center. Established to help preserve a dwindling giant panda population the research base is home to giant pandas of all ages and sizes, including adults, teens, and cubs of course. Allow half a day to visit all enclosures and if you’re planning a more relaxed itinerary, consider visiting the Dujiangyan Base, where you can soak up a full panda volunteer experience.
